Bertrand Et Axelle Machard De Gramont · Burgundy, France
Aligoté
Half in barrel, half in stainless steel, blended after aging.
| Vinification | The whole bunches are immediately put in a pneumatic press after arriving at the winery. The juice goes in a sedimentation tank for 24 hours, then it is carefully racked. Half of the juice goes in second hand barrels, the other half in a stainless-steel tank for fermentation and aging. After one year, the wine from the barrels is racked to be blended and then put into the tank also. The bottling is made without fining or filtration, and only a little SO2 is added. |
| Harvest | Handpicked; the bunches of grapes are picked up in a picking bucket then gathered in grape boxes of 30 kgs. Harvesters sort spoiled bunches. |
